If you are interested in information about Irish history or Irish
Studies more generally, the Stormont Papers web site publishes the
official record of parliamentary debates in the devolved government of
Northern Ireland, from June 7 1921 to the dissolution of Parliament in
March 28 1972. It documents parliamentary discussion on a wide range of
issues including industry, agriculture, transport developments and much
more. Key events, including the aftermath of Blood Sunday, the 1949
budget and the throwing of the mace, are included. The debates of rich
with details of life at the time, including in 1929 for example, a
dispute over whether flax should be barred from import in the new Soviet
Union. Further details of this exceptionally rich resource are
available at http://stormontpapers.ahds.ac.uk/
The site developers at Queen's University Belfast and King's College
London plan to enhance and extend the Stormont Papers web site in the
near future, and we need your feedback on the key areas that we should
prioritise. If you are interested in using the site for research,
teaching, or from general interest, please complete our 5-minute survey

to see. The survey may be accessed using the following web link
